    What’s your favorite down-home
    family style meal?
    Steak with a baked potato and a bottle of cabernet
    sauvignon.  Something rich, followed by
    port, chocolate cake, cigars, cognac and more cigars.  I know odd but this is comforting to me. 
    Describe the perfect vacation.
    One of two scenarios: 
    Either A: Ibiza with that lovely foreign girl or B: Fiji with the one
    who sparkles. There would be only one other currently, but that’s my mystery. I
    know, cryptic answers but even the bad boy of romance has to have a few secrets
    ;)
    What are your hobbies?
    Most readers know I enjoy cigars, pipes, fine alcohol (wine
    usually) sex, women, kink, whip throwing, reading, the occasional bit of spare
    time I get, I’ll pick up my five string electric bass.
    What kinds of things do
    you read when you’re researching a new book?
    Gun info, drug info, health issues, travel stuff depending
    on where I’m setting the book.  I tend to
    also research how to take down governments for some of the larger stories I’m
    working on, though I also end up with a lot of research on Spetsnaz Ops,
    Hungary, languages, that sort of thing. 
    If the hero of your latest
    book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?
    Let’s make it a “HER” and it’d probably be Paper Waves, by
    The Gathering.

    blog button readers and authors can grab.. RLF takes up to three images per
    article, so authors can share previous books. The blog uses author or publisher
    names as SEO tags on posts, and author Twitter handles in the titles. The site
    is broadcast over Triberr with a potential reach of over a million readers via
    its Twitter-linked network. Twitter mentions are also gathered in several
    Paper.li ezines, giving the author an additional opportunity for promotion. At

    download and share.

    Paper.li ezine
    features guest authors on its front page every day. The Yahoo Group Romance Lives Forever has
    nearly 1200 members, and is Kayelle’s private group. It is open once a month to
    authors who have been guests on the blog. Guests get one day to post info,
    share news, book releases, offer contests, and so on. For that day, the group
    is open and members are allowed to reply and take active part. It’s like an
    old-fashioned chat, where you can share and answer questions. Only authors who
    have reserved the day are allowed to post, so it’s exclusive. There is no
    charge. You can read more about it here: http://is.gd/rlfauthorday
